Pilchards Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 So we had a free kick where Hammond runs over the ball & Lambert passes it to Lallana as every Saints player peels into the box taking a man while Lallana comes forward, he threads it through to Guly that started off in the wall but somehow Chaplow almost gets in the way but steps over for Guly to pass or shoot and then slides in and scores. Seriously was that planned? Bloody good if it is and it looks very simple to do. Even looking at the Chaplow goal, that's a fantastic pass from Guly who never looked up to see Chsplow as he just knows he would be there wanting it through training ground practice. Ive noticed we are now scoring more at corners so that looks good. It's great being a Saints fan as it just keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Guly's touch for the first was outstanding - how he managed to kill the pace of a ball that was zipped into him. Pretty sure that he was shooting for the 2nd; but good to see other players following in (not just Jos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 We've scored that goal twice this season and once pre-season as well (slight variations of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Its good now as teams don't know if Lambert is going to shoot or not these days, the walls have got noticeably smaller as they are having to mark people in the box too instead of Rickie just shooting all the time.

markr27 Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 (edited) We've scored that goal twice this season and once pre-season as well (slight variations of it). There was a video clip around of the variation used at Yeovil in pre-season - will see if I can find it.

Jimmy_D Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 It's a bit like varying between thrown offence and running offence in NFL. Being able to score from the pass around the wall means they have to sacrifice men in the wall, which might make it easier for Rickie to score straight from the free kick once in a while.

Hooiveld's goal on 17mins for you: We're seemingly using a lot more training techniques in matches now, in open play and from set pieces. It just gets better and better. Love it!!

Saint_Ash Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 Seems to me it was meant for Chaplow again, when he runs forward does he follow the same line on the pitch? It would've been a very similar goal to his first one. I think we're even using the gridlines on the pitch to help our formation and runs! Looks like we're working hard on the training pitch aswell. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great times. It was, but a defender got a slight touch to it, which put it out of Chappers run. The great planning was to have two players heading to the right area.

The9 Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 We've scored that goal twice this season and once pre-season as well (slight variations of it). I am especially in favour as it's a variation on the "Fonte to the back post" goal from last season, but as teams have seen it and expect it, we use that set up to add other options. We started mixing it up firstly with Harding and Lambert over the ball last season, and we've mixed it further this time out. Plus Fox gives us a different delivery when he plays too. We usually have Lambert over the ball with a left footer next to him, giving us Lambert's shot, a left foot shot (unless it's Harding), the chip to Fonte, or any of the new short passes with instant lay off to runners - if you watch the first goal back you'll see Fonte makes his run around the back as usual even though the ball oes low to the middle and then to the other side of the area - but there's also the possibility of a short pass and then finding him with a cross a second or two later as well. Pretty sure the "back post run" is in Les Reed's FA coaching book actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if NA doesnt watch the NFL - he's dropped terms and concepts in interviews before that suggests he's well aware of the sport.

That's a great video! Just watch the 4 players in the Peterborough wall standing around in confusion as Guly spins away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 (edited) Looking at the video (the rest was from memory) it is EXACTLY the routine I was trying to get our Sunday side to use in pre-season last year 2 standing over the ball so you can go inswinging or outswinging, one of them becomes the runner outside the wall to pull the end man on the wall away or who you can play in for a simple cross 3 players at the far post for whatever ends up there (Hooiveld is unmarked in front of goal as the defenders switch off when the first pass goes short, Fonte spins off to the far post, 1 other player sits behind the 2nd passer in case the free-kick is poorly hit, and then drifts to the edge of the box for rebounds or clearances.) 1 player on the end of the wall shielding the keeper for the shot or spinning in for a second pass at the near post (Guly) 2 runners in the middle - the man who plays the second pass (Lallana) and a runner alongside the wall player (Chaplow) to give two running onto the second pass. Because I recognise it I know it is straight out of Les Reed's FA coaching book. The beauty of this one is the number of options, even the overlapping non-kick taker is in position to mop up an overhit second pass and put a cross in if necessary.
